Variables: EWCMS-DATA-3
For the timeframe 2020 to the present, no reliable publicly available information was identified concerning the prosecution of rape or sexual assault committed by Myanmar service members against fellow service members. No official statistics, court-martial records, conviction rates, dismissed cases or dropped complaints involving actual female military personnel were found. Available reports mainly concern sexual violence by military forces against civilians, detainees and women in conflict-affected communities, which does not fit EWCMS-DATA-3. Therefore, the frequency with which intra-military rape or assault is prosecuted in Myanmar cannot be determined from publicly available information (MR-CODER COMMENT).

For the timeframe 2020 to the present, no reliable publicly available reports, statistics, surveys, or documented cases were identified concerning rape or sexual assault committed against actual female members of Myanmar’s armed forces by fellow service members. Available reports mainly document sexual violence by military personnel against civilian women, detainees, protesters, and women in conflict-affected communities, which is more appropriate for coding under the GEW variables. Because Myanmar’s female military population is very small and the armed forces provide little public information about internal complaints, the frequency of intra-military rape or assault cannot be determined. This lack of information should not be interpreted as proof that such abuse does not...more

Variables: EWCMS-LAW-5
Myanmar’s Defence Services Act of 1959 does not have a separate law that specifically addresses rape, sexual assault, or sexual harassment between military service members. However, Section 71 allows a service member who commits a crime under Myanmar’s regular criminal law to be tried by a military court. This means that a service member who rapes another service member could be prosecuted under Sections 375–376 of the Penal Code. Sections 24 and 25 provide general procedures for military personnel to make complaints, but the law does not clearly provide confidential reporting, independent investigations, protection from retaliation, victim advocates, or special support for sexual-assault victims. Section 55 also allows up to...more
